Database Migration Changelog

  • ???? - The backend added a 'promote' permission to override default visibility for user-created content. The scripts/ruby/create_promote_perm.rb script added this new permission's node to the DB.

  • 03/01/2014 - The backend code was altered to make the (3-letter) language code the per-item description discriminator (along with the descriptionIdentifier field) for descriptions, meaning their IDs could be generated deterministically instead of randomly as before. The scripts/ruby/migrate_description_ids.rb updated the existing descriptions accordingly.

  • 03/01/2014 - The script 'scripts/ruby/migrate_639-1_639-2_langs.rb` updated all language code fields from their 2-letter to 3-letter representations.

  • 03/12/2013 - The scripts/ruby/set_system_event_child_count.rb and scripts/ruby/set_country_repo_child_count.rb was used to cache the number of 'child' relations a node has on its _CHILD_COUNT meta property. An update to the code henceforth maintains this count on hierarchical relationships.

  • 03/12/2013 - Debugging the global and per-item event chains proved difficult because there were several 'link' used that had no properties and only served to connect two 'first-class' nodes via an indirection. The script scripts/ruby/stamp_link_nodes.rb set debugging properties _debugType and _linkType on these nodes.

  • 20/10/2013 - The initial import of EAD data from ICA-Atom had missed the archivist's note field. The scripts/ruby/fix_icaatom_import.rb script corrected this by setting this data on the graph nodes from a custom CSV dump of the ICA-Atom MySQL DB.

  • 20/10/2013 - Fixed an issue (on the frontend) where saving/updating a repository would erase any maintenance event nodes it was connected to. The script scripts/ruby/fix_maintenance_events.rb restored that maintenance events that were erroneously deleted.

  • 10/10/2013 - Fixed an issue where some repositories were imported without the correct (country) permission scope. This led to their documents having incorrect IDs. The script scripts/ruby/reset_doc_ids.rb was used to set the proper permission scope and recalculate IDs for all items in the hierarchy (country -> repo -> doc)
